I liked it! I had a bug though where when I was moving it kept moving even when I was not holding down the button. This resulted in me falling of the edge. Good though!

Thanks for the heads up! I've been trying to recreate the problem on my end, but with no luck. I'll try uploading the most recent build, because this does make the game kinda unbeatable.
i liked it
Spikes are so cruel =(
Nice platformer. I think the controls work quite well (except it's a bit hard to switch 'side' by jumping, it just keeps reverting back).
Quite challenging but fun game. Beautiful pixel art.
Pretty and really easy controls :) liked it
Checkpoints bro, checkpoints.
Took me by surprise when world rotated. Nice game
I liked those obvious arrows, it looked pretty silly in start, but after minutes of playing, it really added atmosphere. Good work!
Loved being able to jump between planets, it's like the movie Upside Down
A difficult game with good art. I had fun playing but couldn't finish it. I only ever died to the instant death spikes.
Neat game, though the spikes are a little unforgiving :P
Didn't start :( Too bad I like the slug on the picture :(
Reminds me of Kid Chameleon in the best way
Never mind :D The web version works fine ^^ Nice game ! I like it !
Really cool, a bit too hard for me to complete though :P good job!
Aw man, I have to restart from the beginning every time I die?? The spinning screen made me pretty dizzy, but it was also pretty cool, to flip like that. There was one part where I was trapped in a narrow corridor with enemies that I had to jump on, but if I jumped I'd flip to the other side... I didn't know what to do in that situation (the enemies were lined up with one another so I couldn't just get under one on the ceiling and jump). With a checkpoint system I would have played all the way to the end!
I thought about adding checkpoints. I think what made me decide against it at the time was the limited amount of time to make levels. Now that i think about it, the average player wouldn't have time to put 5-10 tries into it and checkpoints would have been a good idea.
Although that gaming high you get when you finally make the perfect run was pretty great.
Very well done. Seems to be a lot of content, and I think having one big world is actually something a little different.
i think with checkpoints this would have been amazing. i tend to 'check out' how things damage me when i first go through games and restarting every time kind of killed it. was having fun otherwise, though!
Nice one. But it's frustrating to start over again and again. It would be nice to have checkpoints here :)
I died near the end. No checkpoints :(
Great job with this! Really liked the mood and art you presented here!
Nice entry! Tight controls, touched the theme well, and I loved the blood particle effect. Bonus points for using HaxeFlixel :)
Really nice graphics! And good music!
Cool game, I liked the swap between worlds but it keeps spinning if you're near both worlds and you hold jump which made me dizzy lol. Also damn those spikes!
Good entry man i enjoyed it! Fun platformer
Very cool entry! The art style, music, and sound effects were awesome, and exploiting the gravity shift to fall down on top of enemies and explode them into a shower of pixel giblits will never get old.
nice, great game
Nice intro! Good graphics and decent audio. But the best for me was the gameplay, I didn't expect so many types of enemies and traps, and then to flip between one way and the other. Great take on the theme and good job!
nice job
That was really fun :) Love the pixel art, and the platforming controls feel good.
Died right before the last gas can on my best attempt in the compo version - jumping into an off-screen laser :(
The only problem I had was that my character would sometimes keep moving after I let go of the key, which always resulted in a death. Happened in both the compo and checkpoint versions.
Other than that - great game!
Good idea, although the implementation was sort of lacking. I feel like the gravity-switching should've been utilized more for the gameplay. There were some sections were you had to switch planets to stomp enemies or to grab fuel which I thought were pretty good, I think it would've been better if there were more of that and less platforming / shooting. Also respawn time for checkpoints was kinda long, an instant respawn after the death animation without a button would probably work better.
maybe checkpoint will be cool,,,, i like the graphics and idea theme. congrats
good ole platformer The jump/switch mechanics confused me a bit
great game!
Nice graphics and solid gameplay.
Nice platformer! Music really helps to immerse into atmosphere of the game.
Switching is sometimes a little bit confusing. But i like the style! :)
Interesting graphics and gameplay.
Very strong entry. those red laser guns killing you in one hit tho, cmoooon... Not in a checkpoint-less game with health!
Actually, just making all the stuff that kills you in one hit reduce life instead would have made the lack of checkpoints a lot more fair, its that mix of one-hit-KOs and the long level that's problematic really. Makes a huge difference.
I'd say, either make everything kill you in one hit but add checkpoints, or make most (if not all) things damage your health and leave checkpoints out (or have very few of them)
Nice, took me a bit to get use to the flip but it was pretty well timed and refined. Good game!
Neat platformer, Animations were great.
Cool game! Loved the use of gravity switching, although it was a little buggy and too sudden. I wish there were some more sound effects. But overall I enjoyed this game. Great job!
Very entertaining game. Reminded me of VVVVVV.
One thing I think that could have been done better, were the gravity jumps, after switching side the camera rotates in a way that leaves the player very confused. When its needed to switch side many times I even get a bit nauseous. Maybe like in VVVVVV, you should just turn the character upside down, and not the whole environment.
